Every once in a while, some management genius at a Free Prescription giveaway company I worked for in Arizona, would put up "theme" props all over the cubedom. Right after getting a call from a crazy woman who insisted she was a catholic nun (we all knew she wasn't, she called in regularly because we were required to listen to her nonsense), I was called on the carpet for not calling her "sister" so-and-so. I replied that I had transferred her call to a friend that was a catholic, because I'm not catholic and I'm not required to call her sister. What if the grand imperial poobah of the church of satan calls in, do I have to call him worshipful master? Well, they called me in and fired me because I had supposedly stolen a "theme" beach ball that was hanging from the ceiling. I HAD taken the beach ball down, but only to throw it into the fish pond on the first floor outside, and I didn't even get it that far, the troll that supposedly ran our section popped her head out the door, smiled and said, "Hey, give that back!" which I promptly did. The real funny part is I stayed in contact via email with some of my former co-workers, and they had hired beacoup extra security after they let me go because they were afraid I was a 'Nam vet and was coming back to waste them all. (I have PTSD, and they knew that when they hired me, but I wasn't in 'Nam, and I never told anyone I was either. I finally had to email the CEO and tell him if I heard one more lie about me supposedly coming back to harm anyone, I would have his a*s in a sling, legalwise.)
